Am I the only guy who doesn't like DeathMetal? I mean, just about anyone with a mind can play heavy cords and scream into a microphone. When this music plays, I can't help but plug my ears. What do you guys think of metal?

You're listening to the wrong metal if you think that it's all chords and screaming.

Am I the only guy who doesn't like Metal? (with the exception of Metallica) I mean, just about anyone with a mind can play heavy cords and scream into a microphone. When this music plays, I can't help but plug my ears. What do you guys think of metal?

:lol:

There is a lot more to the guitar work in metal than that dude... and for the record, I don't like metal all that much... just the old classics... Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica.And Pantera too, they're good.

I love metal, it's my favourite genre. It's far from just heavy chords and screaming my friend.

Heavy chords? You need to listen to more death metal. It and it's subgenres have some of the more complex riffing and song structures out there. Dissonant vocals/death growling also takes a lot of ability. Screaming is generally a characteristic of metalcore/deathcore, which actually do just play chords and scream.

A Progressive Death Metal song, but by a black metal artist:

Ihsahn - Unhealer (ft. Akerfeldt)


Sounds like screaming, right?

And now for some technical death metal:

Necrophagist

Sounds like nonstop "heavy chords," doesn't it?

However, Metalcore/Deathcore is:

I pretty much just like New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and Thrash Bands like Megadeth and Slayer. Also, I have a soft spot for more mainstream metal bands like System of a Down (alternative metal... not really nu metal imo), Tool (debatable but progressive metal) and Nine Inch Nails (industrial metal)

Not a big fan of metalcore, hardcore and all those other "metal" genres.

crappy options, i like many different types of music except country and pop and opera etc. the heaviest metal i'll listen to is slipknot but im not that big into them. i used to like full on death metal only but realized that most of it all sounds the same with doomy vocals and double bass kickers lol. i dont know if its considered death metal probaly not but i like killswitch engage and mudvayne and old deftones etc. im listenin to the fall of troy right now theyre pretty sick they have the most technical music ive ever heard, pretty unique, people call them screamo but they definitely arent and plain kick @$$.

They're metalcore with some other influences thrown in. Try some dissonant prog or some technical death if you're looking for some crazy hard to play stuff.

I don't mind it, albeit it isn't my favourite genre. The thing that bugs me the most about it are the "poser-metalheads" that try to be all dark and evil and think they're metal-gods because they can play Iron-Man >.> But hey, that's just nit-picking at the culture :P

I'm a big metal guy but even I am a little iffy when it comes to Death Metal. I like prog Death, Doom/Death, and some Melodeath. But when it comes to the more pure Death Metal, Grind, and Tech Death, the majority of the bandsare complete trash. But within that pile of trash you may find something of value.

I like metal, but I do not like death metal such as Immortal. Sounds like he's choking on a Twizzler.

EDIT: I have just learned Immortal is black metal and not death metal. What's the difference? The hell if I know.

i kinda liked it in my younger years, but have since then become bored with the genre and moved on to industrial and EBM. i feel that the genre is badly stagnating as a result of too many clone bands. cannible corpse clones, Benediction clones ect. Also becoming too technical with the blast drums. not to mention the rise of metalcore, which i simply do not like.

I can't really describe the difference but you can hear it... listen to Immortal and then listen to Cannibal Corpse. That's basically the difference lol

I'm not to fond of it either but it does kinda depend on the song. If I can hear whay\t they sing and I like the moldy then I can listen to it, if it's growling, screaming and panting as if they've run the New York marathon then I don't see the point in listening unless you want a headache. That and I hate Techno with a passion.

the first song, LOVED it upuntill about 1:52 when the guy started growling...

the second, very good solos, not that much growling

the third song, absolute crap, nothing but growling like a caged animal

i like metal but i just cant stand the growling/screaming/screeching like a dissesed caged animal of death metal
